Abstract
Maintaining functionality during component failures is presented. During application registration, a recovery engine generates a recovery plan for the application. The recovery plan includes recovery actions that correspond to each component that the application intends to access. When an application encounters an unavailable component, the recovery engine provides a recovery action to the application which instructs the application how to proceed, such as accessing a backup component. The recovery engine tracks unavailable components and, when a subsequent application registers that intends to use an unavailable component, the recovery engine provides the subsequent application a recovery action, instructing the subsequent application how to proceed.
